nI was now strong enough to hunt in other hunting grounds with stronger monsters than the Tombs of the Dead. But I did not leave the Tombs of the Dead because the monster herding teams, which increased from 4 to 8, boasted twice as much support efficiency as before.

nAnd this type of monster herding was not available in all the hunting grounds.

nFor example, monster herding was impossible in a place where monsters that attacked from a long range appeared. Moreover, more competent monster herding teams were needed for more powerful monsters so that they could properly herd the monsters and not die instead after fighting them hard.

nAnyway, in that sense, the Tombs of the Dead had some merit as a good hunting ground for me. So, I was absorbed in hunting.

n

n

nI still didn’t know how I got the title “First Successful Step”, but what was certain was that it was a reward for my hard work until now.

nOf course, I didn’t want to describe it as something like hard work because I hunted hard because it was fun, but the new title gave me enough motivation to kick start my passion for hunting once more.

nAt the h Daeyu Guild’s headquarters.

n“Oh my God…I really can’t figure out why Asirante has become so powerful. I have no idea at all.”

n

n

nChairman Suh tried to not take any interest in Asirante on purpose because he knew that he could not win over Asirante even though he was still affiliated with Daeyu.

nHowever, he was too curious about Asirante to ignore a video showing his incredible performance, so he blurted out regrettably with a sigh after watching the video.

nThose executives who watched the video about Asirante with Chairman Suh fully understood what he meant by that.

nFor example, 2 is supposed to come after 1, and 3 after 2.

nIn Suh and his deputies’ eyes, that was the same with a man’s abilities.

nIn other words, it is impossible for a baby who can’t even crawl on the floor to stand up and walk overnight or for a child who can’t read alphabets to immediately be able to read books.

n

n

nHowever, Asirante showed that he could make things work today, even when he couldn’t until yesterday. So, Chairman Suh could not understand this kind of disconnect at all.

nSo, they didn’t refute Chairman Suh’s grumbling about Asirante’s capabilities.

nLike the chairman, they too were helplessly watching Asirantes’ proud appearance in the video with mixed feelings.

nIn the meantime, I spent all my time hunting for several days in a leisurely manner.

nUnlike me, however, the Daeyu Group people were very busy.

nThe Myongjin Group was also busy because the system clearly mentioned the 4th anniversary event with the announcement that such an event was the first since ‘Revival Legend’ made its debut 4 years ago. In other words, this was not a matter that they could ignore lightly.

nSo, they moved around busily, collecting as much intelligence about the event as possible including the nature of the event, the way the event would proceed, how many would participate in it, and the start date.

nWhy? Because there was a strong possibility that a big reward that could bridge the gap between the top level players and increase my gap on other players might be given to me.

n

n

nSo, I hunted more passionately than before to strengthen my power even a little more.

nSo much so that Manager Lee and the eight monster herding teams shook their heads in amazement.

nIn the meantime, I succeeded in enhancing the 4 Sacred Permanent Snow Spirit ring and to 5 enhancement.

nAs soon as I finished enhancing the necklace to 5 enhancement, I decided to focus on enhancing the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword because I felt I would reach level 700, which seemed a distant goal to me in the past, sooner or later.

nGiven that I had the 100% enhancement success ticket and 2 ancient cooldown removal spell charms, I can enhance it by 3 immediately.

nSo, I thought of enhancing my Ice Emperor’s guardian sword in advance because I wanted to make it at least 7 enhancement before leaping to 10 enhancement with the enhancement success ticket and the spell charms.

nAnyway, the only thing I could do right now was hunt. But a message rang while I focused on hunting. It wasn’t the familiar message that announced my level-up, nor did it ring only to myself. In other words, the 4th anniversary special event had finally started.

nGood morning. I am the administrator of ‘Revival Legend’.

n-As I previously announced, let me walk you through the 4th anniversary event.

n: This event is a world event, so up to 60 people in each region can participate.

n-Captain No.1 can organize a squad of 30 members.

n-Captain No.2 can organize a squad of 20 members.

n-Captain No.3 can organize a squad of 10 members.

n

n

n

nThe 60 members selected for each region must gather at Ludon’s arena and defend the Tower of Glory in each region from monsters.

nWhen the Tower of Glory is destroyed by monsters, all the survivors in the region are forcibly kicked out of Ludon’s arena, and more powerful monsters appear until only one region remains.

nThe message was now explaining how to proceed with the event.

nAs of the current time, a huge bulletin board will be installed in the central square of all cities and castles for 10 days, and the names of the three captains are displayed in real-time.

n“…”

nAs soon as I heard the word ‘region,’ the word “channel or wall” currently blocking each country came to my mind. In other words, I realized easily that this 4th anniversary quest was a quest in which 60 people from each country were selected to compete.

n“By the way, just participating gives us 2,000 coins? Man, it looks like anybody would like to participate even if they are given 200 million or even 100 million golden rings.”

nI currently have 67,000 and 0.01 coins in the inventory.

nMy father, brother, sister, and Director Sok expressed shock, aghast at the enormous number of the reward coins, namely, 2,000 coins.

nBut I wasn’t that impressed because they were useless to me.

nOf course, the fact that the system would give the participants coins directly was evidence that the coins would be very valuable later, but I didn’t like them because I had no use for them.

nOf course, I would not refuse them if I was given them.

nAnyway, all participants would receive a 2000 coin reward.

nSo, the real reward for those participants in the top 10 rankings may be enormous because this is a worldwide event.

nSo, I found myself burning with desire to participate in the event.

nAt a giant building in New York, USA.

nAs soon as they checked the 4th anniversary event message of ‘Revival Legend’, all the Holdridge Group executives gathered together.

nOf course, they already confirmed some information through the intelligence organization called Interlagos in Brazil, so they were not very confused or surprised by the message.

nBut there was one thing that surprised them.

nIt was the 2000 coin reward given to each participant, which was missing in the Interlagos report.

nSince the Holdridge leadership knew the secret of level 1200, they could not help but pay attention to the 2,000 coins automatically given to the participants.

nMoreover, the real reward has not yet been disclosed to anybody.

nAlthough they knew about the 4th anniversary event, they hurriedly held an emergency meeting as soon as they confirmed the message to find a way to outfox the Shaipe Group and the US Government who were on a par with them in America, and take the No. 1 Captain position.

n“The Shaipe Group and the US Government will never make any concessions to us.”

n“I agree. I think they will rack their brains to take the No. 1 Captain position, who can organize 30 people. They already have a level 1200 user, too.”

nIn fact, the Holdridge Group was treated well by the Shaipe Group and the US Government because it was the Holdridge Group that first discovered the disappearance of Vten, which had the original technology for the VR device, as well as the information about the “Revival Legend” connected to Vten.

nOf course, the Holdridge Group didn’t give such information to the US Government and the Shaipe Group because they wanted to. Anyway they played a role in making the US reach the highest position, so both the Shaipe Group and the US Government tended to treat the Holdridge Group well.
